Equality Bill

The cardinal point, and probably the only comment that I need make on this amendment, is that any divergence or departure from the existing “on the grounds of” is likely to give rise to legal argument. As my hon. Friend has already said, it may well create further uncertainty or perverse or difficult judgments that eventually have to be amended. It would be far better to stick with what has been seen to work since the introduction of disability discrimination in law.
